I don’t think it is possible but the scale says…..
that I have gained 3 pounds this week. Sure I admit I had a slip up last Sunday and ate a few pieces of Halloween candy, but not enough to gain 3 pounds. That is half the weight that I lost last month, all in a week. I worked really hard to get my exercise in and not eat any more candy all week. Every time I was heading for the dish, I thought of my buddy Sandy (LYM) and how she would be sooooooo mad at me and give me a butt kicking. I had my husband put the bowl in his room where I can’t see it. I haven’t touched it since my slip up last Sunday.
I even did something that I didn’t think I could do on Wednesday. I got home late from work and it was too dark to go for a walk, so I got on my elliptical machine and stayed on for 30 minutes.I had to push myself to stay on but I did it, and I was so proud of myself for doing it. I even had my husband yelling at me like Jillian so that I wouldn’t get off before my 30 minutes were up.
I just don’t understand how the scale can say what it did.
I am going to vow today that this is back to the beginning or me. I have been on this journey for almost 11 months and I am starting fresh today. No more little slip ups, and I am going to loose those three pounds again. I want to be at 70 pounds down before I go to my doctor again. I want to be healthy, I don’t want to feel ashamed and embarrased to come on this site and report that I have gained again. Even though I don’t know how it happened.
I am feeling sad today, because of the scale and I know that this is going to be a rough week for me already with the schedule I am going to have for work. I don’t need this sadness with the week I am heading for already. I really need happiness to get me through. Just wish I could find it in me to pull through.
Thanks for reading, I know I have been rambling, but I have to get it out somewhere, before it makes me depressed.

I’m sorry about the 3 lb gain. Good luck.
Im going thru something similar. After almost 2 week plateau I lost two pounds Saturday morning when I weighed. This morning it was back up 2! I dont get it. I know we shouldnt rely so much on the scale but I cant help it. I feel your frustration…so sorry. Just keep digging in an fighting for this!
Julie, you are such a good buddy, I hate to see you sad. I know that you know….like we all know, that sometimes there’s a gain for no reason that we can think of. It could be salt? Maybe you are a little constipated? Maybe you’re stress, putting on more muscle…or maybe you just didn’t sweat or pee as much. Who the heck knows. I know it’s not going to stop you, and I’m not going to kick your butt for something over which you have no control. I’m just sending you a big ((HUG)) and LYM!
